In response to a recent press release, The Korean Subway Gropers' Alliance spoke out this week, chiming in with the larger Korean Association of Sex Attackers, expressing their support of a recent court ruling that sentenced a Korean bus driver for stopping a sex attack on the bus he was driving.

The Korean Subway Gropers' Alliance was "pleased" that the right for people men to conduct sex attacks undisturbed, has been defended by Korea's courts.

While the Korean Subway Gropers' Alliance has been aiming for affiliation with the Korean Association of Sex Attackers, its application has been denied for two consecutive years.

"Subway groping isn't even violent," explained Lee Byun-Tae, public relations representative for the KASA. "We've debated it every year - given the huge number of Subway Gropers, it would certainly improve our numbers and dues collection, but in the end, we're afraid that mere groping will water down the violent and intimidating image we want to convey."

Some have accused the Korean Subway Gropers' Alliance of grasping for attention by releasing a press release for an event like this, which happened on a bus, and which was clearly an outright attack, not a groping: outside the Gropers' spectrum of action.

It's Satire, Stupid

Sometimes, the best way to handle another culture is to laugh.
This blog is a satire. By reading this site, you acknowledge that you're smart enough to tell the difference between joking and honesty. If you are dumb enough to think these articles are the entirety of my actual opinions about Korea, or to think that anybody considers this blog an authoritative source on info about Korea, your permission to read this blog is revoked, due to your lack of a sense of humor. Go look at pictures of kimchi. They won't confuse you with uncertainty about what is true and what is a satirical facade. But maybe the kimchi was made in China.
